Apologies if something similar has been posted before, Couldnt find anything i wanted via search.

I was previously running

FX57
2x512's Corsair 1GB DDR XMS3200XL Platinum @ stock timings
Asus Sli-Premium
2x XFX 512 6800Ultras @ Stock.

+ Rest in Sig.

With minor messing i got my machine to run quite happily with a moderate overclock @ 214*14 Bringing me to just under 3ghz.
Runs around 40*c Idle and hits 50/52 Under load

My new Ram arrived yesterday, some nice new ( very shiny ) OCZ Plats ( 2x1gs pc4000 ) and gave my 3d06 score an little kick from 3945 to 4772

Based on me being on Air cooling ( XP120, 120MM Ytech 125cfm fan ) and the idea that i 6volt all my fans at night when i sleep, im looking for any ideas towards what kinda overclock/ram timings i should be looking for.

Being on air, and remembering this before i decided to kick my FSB up to 250x14 as thats what the ram is rated at. I thought id some came take a look at what the experts thought. I really shouldnt be let loose with this type of toy ;).

Any Help towards Ram timings/ Overclock ideas would be great.
 
kk mate,

ran the ram @ 2.5 - 3,3,5 -2t and seems to be ok.

Going to see if i can head south towards my old corsair timings and hit 1t. ( 2,5,2,2 )
 
defaulted all timings and volts back to normal

at 200*15 atm. 3,3,3,7-2t - had one BSOD on boot already. something regarding "Trap"


have to head off to work; going to leave it running prime for a few hours whilst im out.

Whats a viable aim for a clock/timing set on this system on air?


edit - Errored before i got out the door, Hardware failure on test1, Ran for 1 minute ~_~
